Montegrappa Chaos, "stallone Pen"

[RMN]

Oh, don't worry, there are plenty people wanting one of these pens.

 

I think I read in the Italian magazine Penna, some years back, that these LEs are produced primarily for the russian market where they are bought by the Nouveau Riche.

People buying expensive objects just to show they can.

And if you look at the "millionaire fairs" that are held here in Western Europe, our Nouveau Riche also have a tendency to buy expensive bling.

It's actually on the cover of Fahrney's Pens this month:

Is this Chaos pen a piston filler or an cartridge converter? There are no pen specifications...

There was an article in Pen World two issues ago. I really like the pen. This is definately a love it or hate it pen. The $5000.00 price for silver, gold is much higher, puts it out of my range. I would not mind getting as a gift. It would have to be from someone that DOES NOT have access to my checking account.

I like the pen but not the price.

It appears to use the same body mold as the "Dragon" which is piston-filled. I would just call or email FPH:

I really want to know if Montegrappa will can sell all the 1000 pieces for $5000 each. Most pen fans are a bit conservative in terms of design.

 

Edit- There are no photo showing the nib. I'm curious to know why. :hmm1: Forget, I google it. There are some photos showing the nib. Nothing special.

So when did Montegrappa and Ed Hardy started working as a team?

[leod]

the chaos name matches the pen

[pecidan]

Ugliest pen that I've ever seen... a real "chaos"

[basterma]

It is hideous, but I would find it worth the price if I were a president signing a treaty. Imagine the pundit reaction if Obama signed a bill with it... Or gave it as a gift to Boehner.

[georges zaslavsky]

a pure object of marketing

[IronSoul]

I like the pen, but price is ridiculous.

Firstly, I like both as they are different and make a statement, wether or not you like the statement is a personal thing but I have found historically the things that upset the masses the most in terms of design are usually the things that the masses when much older wish they had owned and been a part of the avant grade at the time! History is a great reminder friends!

 

Secondly, I work a lot with Actors, some very well known and some know Sly very well. Firstly, and these are not my words, he is a puppy dog, a really truly lovely, loyal friend. Secondly he is one of the most respected writers, producers, Directors and actors in Hollywood.

It is just the press and the public that don't get that. In the industry he is very well loved and respected and known for being a stickler for detail and quality.

Holy Jebus. What I wouldn't give to bring that pen to a meeting at work. It would blow people's minds.

 

 

 

 

All the reason to get one! Make a bold statement.
